Funding through the EU? A new carbon allowances project

I’ve started this new thread to discuss potential EU funding sources. At the Lambeth Climate Action Group, we’ve heard from Sustainable Energy Action (http://www.sustainable-energy.org.uk), who are proposing a new personal carbon trading project run with EU money. The gist of their project is excerpted below:

————
Sustainable Energy Action have a carbon footprinting, reduction and personal carbon trading project with European funding that they want to run with 100 households in Lambeth partly due to the existence of the Lambeth Climate Action Group(s). It is a high profile Europe-wide pilot project all about cutting carbon emissions. Lambeth sustainability officers Jon Lissimore and Jessica Currie agree that it is an excellent project that represents very good value for money. It requires 50/50 match funding from Lambeth of £15,000. Council funds had been earmarked but have since become unavailable.

Note that none of this is available on their website but comes from the Lambeth Climate Group’s emailing list (thanks Duncan!). I’m sure SEA will go ahead with this project – whether in Lambeth or elsewhere in South London – and it’s a venture the CRAGs should probably link up with. Moreover, we should be investigating where this pot of EU money lies. Any leads, anyone? I may email SEA at some point to quiz them further.
